Default Senate Field Hearing On Life After Shuttle Draws Hundreds Of Demonstrators

Well, on the one hand, you cannot fly any craft for ever, but given the
Shuttle's unique abilities, albeit at a cost, one is forced to wonder that
with the recent very public annoyance seemingly given by the Japanese
about access to space, whether these nations might be willing to fund some
or all of mission costs for Shuttle flights as long as the use of the
vehicle is still, 'safe', whatever that means in today's world.

Put your money where yer mouth is comes to mind.
